That kinda varies by theme.  
What theme are you using?

For ex. the Mountains theme. Very nice theme, but it has a recommended size for the banner: 1280 x 720. For me: 1280 x 260 is enough image space.

I know that for different devices different sizes are needed, and I guess the images are loaded via a JavaScript, otherwise I could have tailored them myself.

Or if I had access to f.ex. Foundry, would this customisation be easier/ possible?

(Still very much at the beginning with RW, not with HTML / CSS)

@OmarKN Yes, Foundry makes all of this much easier as you have much more control over the layout. Simple as pie. With regular themes you have to work around their specific banner (and other) requirements. That said, some themes offer more flexibility than others. But, I believe, all the themes that come installed with RW (i.e. free) are pretty limited and inflexible.

This post should help with Mountain Theme:

To reduce the height of the hero unit in Mountains, consider using custom CSS code like this: @media screen and (min-width: 768px) { .hero, .hero-background { height: 50vh; } }
